Post-entry quarantine facilities

There is often a need for countries to import organisms for research or to supply new genetic plant material. However, such material has the potential to harbor plant pests and intentional importation can present a risk to plant health. The EWG will draft an ISPM that provides information on the design and operation of containment facilities at different security levels where organisms, including plants and biocontrol agents, can be grown in an environment where there is minimal potential for the escape of pests.
